The STORY table MUST be repaired immediately after the upgrade, or some components will not function correctly. This can be done in the NewsBoss Tools app by selecting the Story table and then clicking on Repair Table.
Allow up to 15 minutes of system downtime to run the STORY repair. Users should not be active on the system, and Wires should be shut down when the Repair is performed.
Changed - Added support for Faircom Server V12 (V6.9.1) If upgrading from a version prior to V6.9.1.15 on a Multi-user system (without a FairCom server) ALL PCs MUST be updated!
Changed - Added support for Faircom Server V13 (V6.9.13301)

Fixed - NewsBoss Web Browser media file download not working correctly. (V6.9.8310)
Fixed - NewsBoss Web Browser RSS file detection and processing not working correctly. (V6.9.8310)
Changed - Queue synchronization between sites operation changed. Previously if two or more sites shared a synchronized queue, then deleting or modifying a story at one site would result in all stories at the other sites with the same Slug being deleted. Now, when stories are shared from a site, they are given a unique identifier (GUID). This allows more consistent synchronization. For example, if a story is deleted from a site, then only stories with the same GUID at the other sites will be deleted. Similarly, if a story is edited at one site, then only stories with the same GUID at the other sites will be updated. This also allows two or more stories with identical Slugs to be present in shared queues, without the risk of a story being unintentionally overwritten from another site. Note all Wires PCs on the sites should be updated. (V6.9.8311)
Fixed - AP Media stories shown on the notification bar sometimes show as not found. (V6.9.8311)

Fixed - Some MP3 files show incorrect duration in lists and when inserted into a story. This can occur if the MP3 file lacks an Info frame, whereupon the length is calculated from other information. However, without scanning the entire MP3 file, the length may not always be accurate. Since scanning entire files is costly and can slow performance, this is not usually done unless MP3 files are being encountered that do not include an Info frame and their durations are proving to be inaccurate. Full scanning can be enabled on each PC using the NewsBoss Advanced Configuration Utility - MCI - MPEGFullScan setting. (V6.9.12301)
Fixed - Corrupt or empty MP3 or other media files can cause NewsBoss to become non-responsive when selecting the media file in the media list. (V6.9.12301)
Fixed - File count and duration space left not displayed in media windows. (V6.9.12302)
Changed - Cut duration now show as h:m:s rather than just m:s in the media lists and audio players. (V6.9.12303)
Changed - Default printer initialization moved to after Login sequence when main frame is visible. This was done to ensure any error dialog in the printer initialization is displayed. (V6.9.12304)

Fixed - NewsML 1 stories with audio cut do not display in MoJo. (V6.9.8307)
Fixed - Recorded audio was trying to upload to the "Carts" library instead of the default audio library. (V6.9.8309)
Fixed - If the Wires PC is Server 2016 or earlier, uploaded audio may not be decoded and an error is reported. This was because the Media Foundation implementation on pre-Server 2019 and pre-Windows 10 PCs does not support decoding of webm opus data. Decoding will now fall back to DirectShow, however codecs must be installed (e.g. K-Lite from https://www.codecguide.com). (V6.9.8309)
Fixed - Some API endpoint links prevented MoJo being redirected from an IIS sub-folder/application. (V6.9.8310)

New - In the story view, there is now a menu option to remove an edit lock. (V6.9.9302)
Changed - The 1GB media file upload has been extended to 4GB. The maximum upload file size can now be configured in the MoJo settings in Wires. The default is 200MB. (V6.9.9302)
Changed - Media file uploads are now chunked to 10MB chunks, and so IIS settings do not need to be altered to allow uploads larger than 30MB. (V6.9.9302)
Changed - Media lists now show the file name, with the media title below it if it exists for the file. (V6.9.9302)
Changed - MP2 files are no longer converted to .wav files when uploaded in MoJo. (V6.9.9302)

Fixed - Audio cuts with duration greater than 60s when inserted into a story, display in NewsBoss with the cut duration in seconds only. (V6.9.12302)
Fixed - Previously, if the user switches to another browser tab while a story is being edited, then the story being edited is closed and edits are lost. This behavior was to ensure stories were not forgotten and left locked, but it would result in the user easily losing any edits. Now, if the user switches tabs, the story will only be closed after 5 minutes, and if there are edits that have not been saved, then the edits will be persisted, so that if the user attempts another edit they will be able to recover their work. (V6.9.14301)
Fixed - Currently, links in stories can open in the story window, requiring Back to be pressed to see the story again. Now, links should open in a new browser tab. (V6.9.14301)
Fixed - In compact mode (on iPhone etc) the story list Refresh button is absent. (V6.9.14301)
Changed - Audio Player number is now indicated in audio cuts in stories, and can be changed in edit mode. (V6.9.14301)
Audio Editor
Changed - Save Audio Cut to Event now saves to the event specified file and closes it, but leaves the record buffer or opened file unchanged. This help prevent audio systems from not being able to access the file if left open in Audio Editor and therefore locked. If using a record buffer, the buffer is marked as saved, but will still be titled Record Buffer, and can be closed without having to confirm closing. Or it can be further edited and saved to other events. If using a file that was opened, then the name will not change, but it will still be marked as changed and the user will need to respond to a close confirm dialog if not saved using the normal Save Cut process. (V6.9.8310)
Changed - Save Audio Cut to Event dialog persists the expanded/contracted state of the Categories tree view. (V6.9.8310)
New - Added support for 24-bit integer and 32-bit IEEE float audio files, including play, record, editing and mixing. (V6.9.9302)
New - Added support for uncommon sample rates 16kHz, 64kHz, 88.2kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz. It is not recommended that high sample rated be used however as they require larger amounts of storage and recording times are more limited. (V6.9.9302)
New - Multi-track editor track sections are now semi-transparent, so that sections that are below another section in the same track are partially visible, making them easier to align. (V6.9.9302)
Fixed - Version control not correctly handling Volume Envelope Reset in Multi-track. (V6.9.9302)
Fixed - Multi-track Undo/Redo hides track sections until window is resized. (V6.9.9302)

Fixed - Quick Start Preset not saving rotation information. (V6.9.10307)
Changed - AXIA enabled GPIO now supports specific Pause control of players 1, 2,and 3. If a Pause port/pin is not defined, the behavior will be the same as before, with the Start GPO function operating the Pause function if the player is playing. (V6.9.14301)
Changed - AXIA enabled GPIO now supports firing GPI pulses when Players 1, 2 and 3 and Quick Starts start, stop and pause. (V6.9.14301)
Fixed - When editing a story in Prompter, cart details does not allow selecting a deck other than 1. (V6.9.14305)
Wires

New - Queue replication via TX/RX now responds to story delete at the receiver. (V6.9.1)
Changed - Wires icon is no longer added to the Windows task bar status area, but rather the Wires icon remains on the task bar. (V6.9.1)
Changed - Receiver HTTP file download now implemented using Chilkat HTTP libraries. This can be reverted to WinINET by setting Wires-UseChilkatForHTTPFileReader to 0 in NewsBoss Registry settings. (V6.9.1)
Changed - RSS HTTP file download now implemented using Chilkat HTTP libraries. This can be reverted to WinINET by setting Wires-UseChilkatForRSSChannelReader to 0 in NewsBoss Registry settings. (V6.9.1)
Changed - Associated media file download now implemented using Chilkat HTTP libraries. This can be reverted to WinINET by setting Wires-UseChilkatForMediaDownload to 0 in NewsBoss Registry settings. (V6.9.1)
Changed - AP Media JSON driver now looks for embedded NITF data in the JSON file. The AP Media Agent should preferably be configured to embed NITF Text in the JSON file and disable NITF text file download. (V6.9.1)
Fixed - Transmitters connected to network receivers from NewsBoss versions prior to V6.7r9 do not process check messages from the receiver quick enough, resulting in the receive buffer turning to disk mode, with excessive file activity in the %temp% folder which worsens with time, which in turn degrades system performance. (V6.9.1)
Fixed - With Queue replication enabled, editing a story received from a remote site in the RX queue can result in the story being deleted from all replicating sites. (V6.9.6)
Changed - AP Media JSON driver updated to AP API V2.2. (V6.9.8)
Changed - AP Media JSON driver updated. The driver now requires the AP Media API key to download associated and linked data. (V6.9.8)

Fixed - NewsML-G2 filter may not reset headline and byline fields between stories, resulting in NewsML-G2 stories that do not contain those fields using data from previously received stories. (V6.9.8311)
Changed - The NewsML-G2 transmitter driver now uses a purely alphanumeric GUID for the "guid" attribute. To create the "guid" attributes as done previously, create a NewsBoss DWORD registry key "Wires - NewsMLG2_UseGUIDforGuid" (defaults to 1 if not present) and set its value to 0. (V6.9.8314)
Fixed - HTTP File receiver broken due to bug introduced in recent Chilkat library. The symptom shows in file receivers that download an http file (for example, RSS receivers), with the receiver status showing 'Waiting for empty read buffer' that never clears. (V6.9.8315)
Changed - Hyperlinks in stories are now exported inn <a> tags in the NewsML-G2 NITF export and transmitters. (V6.9.9301)
